Do they really want all those individual things, or do they just want a Fourth Reich, but can't outright admit that, so have to come up with plausible cover?

I don't know and my empathy isn't good enough to picture what a person like that wants. They seem to be pissed, the complexity of the world is too much for them. And they're a bit low IQ but speak up immediately and tell some simple truths that won't ever work in reality. Their thinking is: When I was young everything felt simpler. When I was young we also had a different currency. So bringing back the old currency will solve all issues... So I'm not sure if they even want the fourth Reich. I think they just want to be negative and complain. They'd probably also complain if that happened.

That's quite accurate. When Corona started, they were the first to demand strict measures.

As soon as the government started to take measures, they were out in the streets protesting against mandatory masks and everything…

The last time I've read their election manifesto, it was 80% "we're against this because we're against it."
Really, they're a bunch of opportunists to the outside. To the inside, they're undesirables being opportunists. A couple of those (heh, especially in the East) probably do want to rebuild another Reich.

That's just what they put in writing. But they still haven't even managed to kick out Höcke who is on record saying that we should make a 180° turnabout in the way we remember Nazi Germany. They're Nazis, and we need to stop sugarcoating it.

They basically want to sell Germany to Russia and China for personal gains. They're just a bunch of disgusting, egotistical fucks that don't give a shit about Germany and its inhabitants.

They want a fourth reich. They want to deport even germans with non german parents. There is a good chance they will be part of the government, with the CDU/CSU, next election
